has anyone taken the regular effexor? What results did you get from it. I was on effexor er for a while, but I don't think that I really gave it much of a chance to work (I have done this with most meds that don't give immediate results i.e. xanax or adderall). I am at the end of the list. I have an appointment with my pdoc on friday. I quit Lamictal without talking to him first, so, the appointment will start off on a bad note.
